Kids Fighting AIDS sponsors Kids Day in the Park

Kids Fighting AIDS Inc. will sponsor its 17th annual Kids Day in the Park Saturday, June 7. The event will be held from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. at the White Oak Shelter near Kids Kingdom.

There will be free hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, drinks, cotton candy and popcorn provided with the help of several businesses, making this fun-filled event possible again this year.

Kids Fighting AIDS is an all volunteer community-based organization that provides services to the Vanderbilt Pediatric Infectious Disease Clinic and is available to more than 30 families. Locally, the organization provides many items to the Pediatric Department at Maury Regional Medical Center. Items include blankets for the sickest children, school supplies for school age children and goodie bags for most holidays. At Christmas, there are toys for every child in the hospital as well as baskets for all children at Easter.

Donations for the holidays are always welcome and will be distributed by the hospital staff.

Kids Fighting AIDS is once again asking for sponsors for the picnic. Organizers say that more than 100 children and parents are expected to attend.

This is a fun filled day for adults as well as the children. A bounce house will be provided for younger children and games for the older children. Adults will receive tickets for the many door prizes that have been donated.

Any organization is welcome to set up a table to distribute what is available for the youth in Maury County. For more information, call Richard Crawford at (931) 626-9157.
